Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Although Tianmeng doesn't dare to be too arrogant, its mastery of mental power far surpasses that of Huo Yuhao, making it essentially a silkworm-shaped radar.

Soon, Huo Yuhao entered the shop. He glanced around and found that all the goods were displayed on individual counters, each protected by a crystal dome. Below each dome was a wooden sign with the price listed on it.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?" A middle-aged man dressed in white came up to Huo Yuhao with a smile.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "I'm just taking a look."

"Alright, you can call me anytime you like anything." The middle-aged man tactfully left. He knew that some customers didn't like having someone with them while they were choosing things, so he naturally wouldn't go against their wishes.

"Brother Tianmeng, which way do we go next?" Huo Yuhao asked.

“Keep going forward…” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said.

Following Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's instructions, Huo Yuhao continued walking forward. After a moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice came again, "Alright, stop now. It's on the first platform on your right. Remember, you must buy it as soon as possible!"

Chapter 20 The Seed Thief Orange, I Am Your Seed Man

Huo Yuhao looked at the small, dark lump of substance on the platform, then subconsciously shifted his gaze to the wooden sign below the platform, which read: "Inferior whale glue, priced at five thousand gold soul coins."

"Inferior whale glue? Brother Tianmeng said he found a bargain again. Could it be the ten-thousand-year whale glue mentioned in the original work? However, this piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue is only the size of a palm. What a pity." Huo Yuhao's thoughts were churning.

However, he did not show that he recognized the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Instead, he questioned, "Brother Tianmeng, the quality of this whale glue is too poor. I learned in class that good quality whale glue is golden yellow and has a crystal clear appearance."

After saying these words, he quietly waited for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to perform, leaving Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a stage to show off.

"Little Yuhao, that's because some people in the Sun Moon Empire don't know its value. This is ten-thousand-year whale glue! This stuff comes from a whale's brain. Eating it can improve your physique. If you eat it, it can at least increase the lifespan of your soul ring to three thousand years."

"When the time comes, the first spirit ring I give you will be able to unleash the power of a three-thousand-year spirit ring, and your strength will be further enhanced. However, the only problem is that it's too small. If it were bigger, it would be better. If it were bigger, your body could withstand the spirit ring for an even longer period of time." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed with emotion.

"Brother Tianmeng, you're amazing! You know so much! As our teacher would say, this is what it means to have an elder in the family, like a treasure! No wonder you're a million-year-old soul beast!" Huo Yuhao fully utilized his eleven-year-old persona to praise Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Of course! Let me tell you, no human knows more about whale glue than I do!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also a little proud. To be honest, Huo Yuhao's praise made it happy. After all, in its long life, the praise it had heard was basically that it was good food or that it smelled good. This was the first time someone had praised it for knowing a lot.

If Bingbing were as sensible as Yuhao, she would just praise me!

Thinking of this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly felt a little melancholy. It knew that it had long since fallen hopelessly in love with Bingbing, but Bingbing's attitude towards it had always been rather bad, and she would turn it into food at the drop of a hat.

After calming down for a moment, it said, "Xiao Yuhao, you should buy this first to prevent someone else from buying it. Of course, you should stay in this shop for a while, after all, there are still some treasures to be found here."

"There are still treasures to snag?" Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and he called out, "Boss, I'll take this piece of whale glue."

“Okay.” The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, and Huo Yuhao took out the universal gold soul coin card given to him by Xuan Ziwen and handed it to him.

The middle-aged man was somewhat dismissive. After all, people who buy this kind of inferior whale glue are obviously not rich. Generally speaking, wealthy people would buy the kind of whale glue that has a golden hue.

The two quickly completed the transaction. Huo Yuhao stored the whale glue in his white cloud belt and then continued to wander around the shop. Soon, under the guidance of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he stopped in front of a platform.

Inside the crystal dome was a large, golden-yellow whale glue, so clear and translucent that it seemed about to burst the dome.

He subconsciously glanced at the wooden sign below the platform: "Millennium Whale Glue, priced at 300,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"Brother Tianmeng, when you say 'finding a bargain,' is it this? Such a large piece of Millennium Whale Glue must have other secrets, right..." He knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wouldn't make things up without reason, after all, their interests were now highly intertwined.

"Yes, Yuhao, you are very smart. It does indeed have other secrets."

It is not the Thousand-Year Whale Glue; some humans have mistaken it for something else. Although it looks very similar to the Thousand-Year Whale Glue, its effects are completely different. Its name is Demon Whale Glue, and it comes from the deep-sea Demon Whale clan.

The so-called Deep Sea Demon Whale is an extremely powerful sea spirit beast. Its reputation among sea spirit beasts is roughly the same as that of evil spirit masters among you humans.

Of course, not all deep-sea whales can produce this creature; the chance of it appearing is extremely small. Its function is also very simple: to enhance mental power. Therefore, no matter how much money it costs, you must obtain it!

Your martial soul is the Spirit Eye, so the strength of your spiritual power is extremely important to you.

Boost your mental strength!

Huo Yuhao immediately had an idea. After all, he didn't have the Purple Demon Eye and couldn't improve his mental strength by cultivating it. If he could get his hands on this so-called Demon Whale Glue, it would naturally be of great benefit to his strength.

"However, I can't afford it... How about I pawn the soul tool to the boss and then borrow money from Teacher Xuan? Then I can redeem the soul tool later?"

Although I have two level-four soul tools from Mingde Hall, even if I pawned them both, it wouldn't be enough. After all, a level-four milk bottle in the original story only sold for 25,000 gold soul coins at the Star Luo Auction House!

It's important to understand that the reason it sold for 25,000 gold soul coins was because the team leader, Wang Yan, wanted to buy it and send it back to Shrek Academy for research; otherwise, it could have been bought for just 20,000 gold soul coins.

Huo Yuhao immediately fell into thought.

Although the original novel did not mention the Demon Whale Glue, it was impossible for Huo Gua to consume all the rare and precious herbs. Moreover, it is understandable that Tianmeng said that the probability of its appearance was low.

After all, some things in Douluo Continent have a random probability of appearing. For example, as the king of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Ice Emperor is undoubtedly extremely powerful, but he does not know the Ice Explosion Technique. In the original work, Huo Qubing's Ice Explosion Technique actually came from the soul bones of other Ice Jade Scorpions.

"We must find a way to acquire it, otherwise we'll lose a lot if someone else buys it later. Mental strength is too important for this body. Before becoming a Soul Douluo, I need to condense a mental core and achieve something unprecedented. I must lay a good foundation."

He took a deep breath, preparing to use the Red Dust Breastplate to fool the boss and get him to keep the "Demon Whale Glue" for the time being. As for how to fool him, he would naturally use the boss's name, since the Red Dust Breastplate was, after all, a work of Mingdetang Jing Hongchen, and its recognizability was still very high.

As for whether he could successfully fool them, he couldn't guarantee it, but he would give it a try anyway.

Just then, a female voice rang in his ears, "Huo Yuhao, what are you doing here?"

Ok?

Who called my name?

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction from which the voice came. It was a beautiful girl whom Huo Yuhao did not recognize at all.

"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"My name is Ju Zi, and I am one of Teacher Xuan Ziwen's four disciples. According to the order of enrollment, you should call me senior sister," Ju Zi said with a smile.

It's you, the one who stole the oranges!

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that his kidneys were in danger. After all, in the original story, Ju Zi stole Huo Gua's seed through special means and gave birth to Huo Gua's son.

Chapter 21: Those who frequently steal seeds know...

To be honest, Orange's actions were really outrageous. As expected of the Empress War God with maxed-out war talent, she actually came up with such an absurd way to get involved with Huo Gua.

Undoubtedly, Ju Zi had long wanted to kill Xu Tianran, then support her and Huo Gua's child to become the only emperor on this continent, and finally find a way to bring Huo Yuhao back to her side.

After all, Xu Tianran's suggestion that Ju Zi borrow seed from a member of the imperial clan occurred after Ju Zi stole the seed. It can be said that Ju Zi had long ago planned to find a suitable opportunity as soon as possible and then use Huo Gua's seed to give birth to her and Huo Gua's child.

Those who frequently steal seeds know that to steal Huo Gua's seeds, one must be fully prepared and have a meticulous plan.

Without a doubt, Ju Zi's plan was very meticulous. She first spent time alone with Huo Gua, and then drugged him. After all, Huo Gua had indeed been attracted to Ju Zi before, and he wasn't very wary of her. So Ju Zi's first two actions were successful.

Then, Ju Zi used a specially made seed-stealing soul tool to launch a fierce attack on Huo Gua's kidneys, directly stealing out the wise ruler Xu Yunhan.

"Senior Orange, I've heard Teacher Xuan mention you." Huo Yuhao smiled.

To be honest, although Orange's cultivation level is average, her talent for commanding war is truly outstanding; she is a top-tier talent in warfare!

Even the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, who was skilled in warfare, could not compare with Ju Zi in the field of war. After all, when Huo Gua came out of seclusion, the Douluo Three Kingdoms had been reduced to only Star Luo City. Some people wanted to raise the white flag and surrender, and then welcome the royal army!

Perhaps during the war, the Star Luo faction will lavish praise on Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Army, calling him a brilliant strategist and the backbone of the Star Luo military, and claiming that our defenses will be impregnable under Dai Hao's leadership.

However, while the Star Luo Empire's propaganda may be deceiving, the battlefront itself cannot be.

With Huo Guayi in seclusion, the Douluo Three Kingdoms were completely overrun by Ju Zi, and his territory was about to be completely occupied by Sun Moon.

Many people are waiting in line to obtain Sun Moon citizenship and become honorary Sun Moon citizens, since the weakness of the Douluo Three Kingdoms was clearly exposed in the war.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't emerged from seclusion and Tang San hadn't arrived, Ju Zi would have almost accomplished the great feat of unifying the Douluo Continent.

After all, even the Limit Douluo Xuanzi was restricted by the level 10 Soul Master Kong Deming. Apart from Huo Gua and others, there was basically no one who could stop Ju Zi from taking revenge.

Although this was partly due to the fact that the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology far surpassed that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

However, he believed that even if Xingluo's soul guidance technology was similar to that of Sun and Moon, Dai Hao would still be thoroughly defeated by Ju Zi in the field of warfare. After all, the title of Empress War God was not given lightly.

Of course, we don't know what Tang San was thinking after the mechanical deity, but he insisted on renaming the Sun Moon Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, thus creating the situation of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires confronting each other ten thousand years ago. What, everyone else wants to play on a new server, but Tang God King wants to play on a classic server?

When the Tian Dou Empire split into the Tian Hun Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, why didn't Tang Shenwang use his mechanical divine intervention to stop it, and then launch a wave of nostalgia servers?

"Huo Yuhao, what did Teacher Xuan say about me? Did he say I was greedy again?" Ju Zi snorted, her face showing annoyance.

"Uh, no, Teacher Xuan just said that you are one of his disciples, and that you study very hard, often staying up late to make soul tools. You are someone worth learning from," Huo Yuhao said quite honestly.

"Really? Huo Yuhao, you're not lying to me?" Ju Zi was a little skeptical. In her impression, although Teacher Xuan was enthusiastic about researching soul tools, he was not the kind of rigid and inflexible person.

Therefore, it is very likely that Teacher Xuan will tell Huo Yuhao about her gluttony and then tease her with Huo Yuhao in private.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Teacher Xuan yourself," Huo Yuhao said.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask him. He's the chief researcher at Mingde Hall, he's always very busy, I can't bother him with something like this." Ju Zi pouted, then walked over to Huo Yuhao. "By the way, Huo Yuhao, did you come here to buy something too?"

"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded.

"What do you want to buy? Do you want to buy some with me? The Treasure Hunt Club has a special rule: you get a discount if you spend a certain amount. The more you buy, the bigger the discount." Orange said.

"Senior, I might not be able to afford it. My family is of average means, and I just arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so I don't have much money on me."

Huo Yuhao's face showed embarrassment. Of course, he had already figured out what Ju Zi meant; she just wanted to get close to him, the "genius soul master."

He naturally wouldn't resist Orange's touch, after all, he would need Orange to unlock the Sun and Moon Palace instance later.

Of course, Huo Yuhao had no intention of being Xu Tianran's lackey. His main purpose in contacting Ju Zi was to kill Xu Tianran and find a way to become the master of the Sun Moon Empire.

Regardless of how he takes control of the Sun Moon Empire in the future, it will be more beneficial than harmful to him.

After all, the strength of the Sun Moon Empire is undeniable. If he can control this vast empire, everything he does will be much easier.

Of course, Xu Tianran must die. This person is too difficult to control. No matter what happens, he will never submit to anyone. Even if Xu Tianran sometimes chooses to endure for the sake of the big picture, he will eventually show his fangs like a viper!

"I see..."

A smile appeared on Ju Zi's face. "Huo Yuhao, I can lend you money, but you need to agree to one request."

Of course, she wouldn't give Huo Yuhao a large sum of money directly; that would be too unusual.

"A request? What request?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'll tell you when I've thought it through. You should agree first," Orange said with a smile. At this moment, Orange had not yet revealed the sharp edge of the future empress and war goddess, so she was naturally not as mature as she would be in the future.

"Oh, then I won't buy it."

"Huh... what did you say? You're not buying it?"

Orange was dumbfounded. "If you're not going to buy it, what am I supposed to buy? Why didn't you even ask what I wanted? Ask me!"

She originally thought Huo Yuhao would agree, but his reaction was beyond her expectations.

"Well, because I don't know what kind of request my senior will make. What if she asks me to go against my conscience and kill an unarmed cook, groom, or even a farmer? I just can't do that..." Huo Yuhao's face showed a troubled expression.

Upon hearing the word "cook," Ju Zi's expression shifted slightly, and her eyes became misty, as if she were recalling something. After all, her father was a cook who died at the hands of a Star Luo army, and the leader of that Star Luo army was named Dai Hao!
